Patricia Ward, 66, was killed inside her apartment by her son, 35-year-old Derek Ward, who jumped in front of a commuter train near the Farmingdale, N.Y., moments later, killing himself, Nassau County police said. Derek Ward was arrested previously for gun possession and criminal mischief and also had a psychiatric history going back about 10 years.
